Extraction through drilling, and so deeply. Reminds me of ocean oil drilling or sea mining. I had imagined draining it and making a pit mine, then filling it up again with fresh water. It must be pretty deep to drill wells.
This would be the method I would use here to extract the placer gold near the bedrock 150' below on my property. The fine local sand should be easy to drill down to that depth.
Being raised in Southern California ya know about earthquakes and water conservation. I kinda don't think filling it with fresh water is gonna work.
